Frequently asked questions
How much does The Market Ear cost?
The Market Ear is listed at Free (access model: Free Open Access), classified in the "Free" band. No recurring price is published, so treat the figure as an indicative listing rather than a quotable number. Prices are the publisher's own publicly listed tiers as of 2026-10-04; always confirm on their site before subscribing.
Is there a free version of The Market Ear?
Yes. The Market Ear is classified as free — there is no paywall on the core research.
How does The Market Ear compare with other 99 desks in its category?
Across the 9 publications in this category that publish a recurring price, the median entry tier is about $63/month. The Market Ear sits at or above that line. Entry price is a weak quality signal on its own: analyst-time products cost more to run than data products, so compare the tier you would actually buy rather than the headline number.
Is The Market Ear worth the price?
The test is whether the desk produces primary work you cannot get free: its own data collection, filings analysis, models or channel checks. The Market Ear covers Flows, positioning & volatility and is classified as trading. If you already follow that subject closely and the desk is not telling you something new, the marginal value is low regardless of price; if it is your primary source in that niche, the cost is usually trivial against a single position. This index does not accept payment for a favourable description.
